Wooden key Rack


My neighbour passes me bits of wood...to burn, but actually it was just the right thickness to cut out this key holder.

Wooden Box


This old wooden box is about 26cm square.  All I did to this was decorate it.
This watering can was thrown away dented, leaking,  and no good for anything. My husband renovated it and spray painted it black and then I decorated with acrylics and varnished it.

Small milk churn


I painted this many years ago. I found the churn ( is it a churn?) in a junk shop, very dirty and dented.  I painted straight on to the metal, and then aged it.

My first post


Paper Mache bowl
.
    This was my first attempt at papier mache and not very good. I mixed egg boxes, water and PVA glue in a food processor.  It is quite lumpy  and I'd appreciate any advice on how to improve this..

  I painted 2 coats of acrylic, decorated it and varnished it.
